Configure data movement across geographic locations for generative AI

Important

Power Virtual Agents capabilities and features are now part of Microsoft Copilot Studio following significant investments in generative AI and enhanced integrations across Microsoft Copilot.

Some articles and screenshots may refer to Power Virtual Agents while we update documentation and training content.

With the generative AI features of Copilot Studio, you can instantly build useful copilots without creating complex conversation flows or manual authoring and configuration. These features draw on Azure OpenAI API Service and Bing Search.

These capabilities are available in environments created for the United States and other supported geographic locations.

In some non-United States geographic locations, global and Power Platform admins might need to make these features available in your environment.

If these features aren't available for your environment, a message appears in Copilot Studio on the copilots overview page.

You can continue to configure some Copilot Studio generative AI capabilities even if the features aren't available. However a message appears when you test your copilot.

Important

Accessing Copilot Studio generative AI features from regions outside the United States results in data movement across regional boundaries. This data movement can be enabled and disabled in Power Platform. Once enabled, any data movement that occurred while this feature was enabled cannot be reversed by removing your consent.

Features powered by Bing are separately governed by the Microsoft Services Agreement and Microsoft Privacy Statement.

Only global and Power Platform admins can enable and disable generative AI features for environments outside the United States.
